high wind which was prevailing had leaped
across the wide avenue and communicated
to the whole block on the east side between
Fiftythird and Fifty-fourth streets The
block was composed of six-story tenement
houses and ooal-yard The terror stricken
tenants poured ont of the building like a
swarm OF bees, praying, fighting, cursing in
turns. The scene of terror was indescriba-
bic. The buildings burned rapidly, though
the fronts facing the avenue were of brown
stone. BY $50 they were completely gutted.
The flames spread to the entire square block
over TO Ninth avenue.

and crushing blow. The insurance will be
